provides energy, builds tissue, and regulates metabolic processes in the body.
• The nutrients that provide the body with its primary source of fuel for energy are
• vitamins.
• minerals.
• fiber.
• carbohydrates.
CORRECT ANSWER >D
Carbohydrates (e.g., starches and sugars) are the body’s primary fuel to carry out necessary
processes; fat is the secondary source of energy.
• Which of the following is the most accurate statement regarding the functions of protein?
• Proteins can be a primary fuel source even if there is adequate carbohydrate intake.
• Proteins are a necessary nutrient to provide energy for the body in times of stress.
• Proteins can be used as coenzyme factors during cell metabolism.
• Proteins are essential to building and repairing tissues within the body.
CORRECT ANSWER >D
The primary function of proteins is to provide amino acids, which are the building units
necessary to building and repairing tissues within the body. This is a constant process that
ensures adequate growth and maintenance of tissues for a strong body.
• A 65-year-old man requires 2000 kcal/day without any specific fat or carbohydrate
requirements. The approximate number of kilocalories per day from fat that his diet should provide

c. 500 to 800
, d. 900 to 1200

carbohydrate, 3 g protein, and 1 g fat is kcal.
• 34
b. 136
c. 141
d. 306
CORRECT ANSWER >C
Calculate as follows: Carbohydrate provides 4 kcal/g, protein provides 4 kcal/g, and fat
provides 9 kcal/g. Therefore:
30 g carbohydrate 4 kcal/g = 120 kcal
3 g protein 4 kcal/g = 12 kcal
1 g fat 9 kcal/g = 9 kcal
= 141 total kcal (120 kcal + 12 kcal + 9 kcal)
• The basic building units of protein are called acids.
